Angler, hunter, writer, photographer, and culinary aficionado, James is somewhat of a modern Rennaissance man. Born and raised in Michigan, he only lived out-of-state for a couple of years during school and, in his words, “came back to Michigan as soon as I possibly could.” An angler since the age of five and a fly fisher for more than 15 years, James has effectively combined his love of the sport with his master's degree in publishing and writing. In addition to his work at Orvis, James is an Editor-at-Large with Tail Fly Fishing Magazine. He writes and photographs for Tail as well as for a variety of other fly-fishing and wingshooting magazines. His work has been featured in Tail, Covey Rise, American Fly Fishing, The FlyFish Journal, American Angler, and others. If he’s not out on the floor of Orvis Royal Oak, fly fishing, hunting, writing, or shooting photos, James can often be found in the kitchen; a bit of professional culinary training has helped him perfect his skills at preparing dishes using wild game or foraged ingredients such as wild mushrooms and leeks. James always looks forward to meeting new and seasoned anglers alike and helping them with the gear and guidance they need to pursue their passions the way he pursues his.
MFFC business meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. EST, learn about upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, hear fishing reports, and general Club information. The speaker will take the floor around 8:00 p.m. EST.*
